Energy futures modelling for African countries: LEAP model application
Ouedraogo, Nadia S. - 2017
This study develops a scenario-based model to assess the current and future trends in energy demand in Africa and associated greenhouse gas emissions. Future energy demand is forecast on the basis of socio-economic variables such as gross domestic product, income per capita, population, and...

On start-up costs of thermal power plants in markets with increasing shares of fluctuating renewables
Schill, Wolf-Peter; Pahle, Michael; Gambardella, Christian - 2016
The emerging literature on power markets with high shares of fluctuating renewables suggests that more frequent start …-up procedures of thermal power plants may become an increasing concern, both for costs and possibly also for market design. Based on … official scenario assumptions, we investigate how start-ups and related costs develop in Germany, where the share of …

System Integration of Wind and Solar Power in Integrated Assessment Models: a Cross-model Evaluation of New Approaches
Pietzcker, Robert C.; Ueckerdt, Falko; Carrara, Samuel; … - 2017
Mitigation-Process Integrated Assessment Models (MP-IAMs) are used to analyze long-term transformation pathways of the energy system required to achieve stringent climate change mitigation targets. Due to their substantial temporal and spatial aggregation, IAMs cannot explicitly represent all...

Planning for large-scale wind and solar power in South Africa: Identifying cost-effective deployment strategies through spatiotemporal modelling
Ummel, Kevin; Fant, Charles - 2014
South Africa hopes to expand wind and solar power. Success depends on how and where to deploy the technologies. This study develops a 10-year database of expected power generation for these technologies across South Africa. A power system model simulates the performance of different spatial...
